AMCA (aminomethylcoumarin acetate) is a blue fluorescent dye with reactive derivatives that are used as contrasting probes for double- and triple-labeling in immunofluorescence microscopy, arrays and in situ hybridization. The desirable properties of AMCA dyes include a relatively large Stoke's shift and resistance to photobleaching. NHS-AMCA and Sulfo-NHS-AMCA are reactive towards primary amine groups on proteins, peptides and other biomolecules. AMCA-Hydrazide is used to label glycosylation sites or for conjugation to carboxyl groups using the crosslinker EDC. AMCA has an excitation maximum at 345nm and an emission maximum at 450nm.
